ORGANOMETALLICS ORGANOMETALLIC a) Q) M An organometallic compound is generally defined as the one that possesses a metal-carbon bond. But it is not rigid condition, Bonding in Organometallic Compounds: It may be ionic, co-ordinate, Covalent (localized or delocalized). Organometallic chemistry can be viewed as a bridge between organic and inorganic chemistry. Stability of OMC is determined by two Rules. EAN rule: The sum of the electrons on the metal plus the electron donated by the ligands. This number equal toa noble or inert gas atomic number, then the compound is said to follow EAN rule. 18 electron rule: RY COSACCSS 35 When the metal achieves an outer shell configuration of ns'(n— 1)d"" np* there will be 18 electrons in the valence orbitals & a closed stable configuration. The conditions which favour 18 electron: (i) A electron rich central metal (in low oxidation state) (ii) Good x-acceptor ligand.
